Subject:      Ether message to all!!!

Yes, yes, a few days early (hey, I'm a student.  Days of the week mean
NOTHING to me).  But I just wanted to bring a happy little Ether message to
you all, from our own special Forever Ether Bunnies!!!!


(Tracy bounds happily onto stage in her big pink fluffy bunny costume,
giggles.  Screaming is heard offstage.  Suddenly Vachon, bound and gagged is
tossed after her.  Tracy grins, gives him a big, squichy smooch.  Natalie,
still in her lab garb but with some ears thrown on is dragging a squirming
Nick behind her.  He looks like Peter Rabbit From H*LL, complete with large
fake carrot and teeth.  He tried to run off, but a Tracy hug paralyzes him
momentarily.  Janette saunters on stage looking phenomenal in a black
Playboy Bunny costume, grins seductively.  Reese follows in same outfit.
Tracy giggles, Nick loses consciousness, Nat ignores Nick.  Screed shows up
dressed like the Easter Rodent.  Schanke follows in a minute dressed like a
chocolate egg and apparently cannibalizing rest of batch.  Suddenly a yowl
of fury and humiliation rips through theatre.  Lurkers, wearing Vegemite
amulets, drag a handcuffed LaCroix onstage.  He is wearing purple ears, a
lavender tail, buck teeth, and, of course, and edible purple thong.  Pasties
are optional.  LaCroix is set in place, Lurkers run for tesseract.  Director
Cousin "Susan" Phoenix, soon to be quite DEAD Cousin "Susan" Phoenix starts
the music.  "New York, New York" blares through auditorium.  Production
ready to begin)

HAPPY ETHERRRRRRR!!!!!!!! (entire stage, with two exceptions, scream.  One
exception is unconscious, other is picking cuffs with fang.  Director uses
Vegemite as threat.  Exceptions mumble unenthusiastically.  Vegemite bomb
thrown on stage)

HAPPY EEEETTTHHHHEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!  (screams of "run" echo
throughout.  Bomb goes off, is filled with Ribena.  Director runs away as
fast as her little legs will carry her from rampaging Uncle)

Thank you, thank you.  Hope you enjoyed the show!  I'm just gonna go
complete my will now...

Hoppy Ether!

I don't know about that.  I've been known to watch the last episode of
a show simply because it WAS the last, even if I've never watched the
show before.  Fans are kind of like that, aren't they?

So if they do it that way -- and are we sure they are?  (I didn't see
the original post) -- there will probably be a lot of people who tune in
for that very reason.  They'll see the show, and hopefully those last
four are as good as they're supposed to be.  Then the "voyeurs" (sorry,
too much thinking about Uncle) will realize it's a good show, and want to
watch it.  Especially with a "clip show" in there.  I know they always
make me want to go back and see the shows the clips came from to get
the whole story.

Am I the only one who does this?

There was some interesting information on the newsgroup that I hadn't seen
here regarding the Forever Knight-Other show connection-

Janet Dornhoff (*the* famous one, yep, mentioned by Gillian in one of the
shows - names escapes me) says:

Did we ever decided on what procedures were going to be used when they start
airing 1st and 2nd season FK on SF? I know there are so many newbies out
there that for them they will be brand new eps - are we gonna discuss them
on the Spoilr list?  That could be fun actually, getting a whole new crop of
ideas on shows we've be discussing for a while. Whadday think?

That confuses me too. Does that mean they're showing them at the same time
that the Syndies are showing them? Like USA was doing before?  That doesn't
make much sense either - except as you say those that couldn't see them
other wise now can.  However, perhaps those newbies out there should stay
away from those last few episodes.  I'm not even sure I'm gonna be able to
take them!!

They don't say. The only clue is that Schanke is being a real (how do I

newbie connie told me that we should start arming the hamsters! that way
when there are too many messages, the hamsters can kill them.
has this list taken over my life.
no,
homework has taken over my life. I have a professor who believes in three
hours of homework for each hour of class, so all i do is homework. (I
have her for four classes) and my five week break I found out yesterday
will be spent teaching highschool special ed. if i refuse I don't
graduate, she pretends that we don't have a life outside college. some of
us have families. what's crazy is that she's a french canandian who
worked hard at getting rid of her accent.
this list is a nice diversion from my homework. I am hopeful that my
professor will give me a note so that i can keep my conection during the
five weeks in may. because I don't think i can stand going without this
list when they show the least ep. i have asked her nicely, and she's
thinking of it.
i won't talk about that other show, but I have one little thing to say
about it. Those vamps would last five minutes with uncle. I don't like
the good guys, like the bad guys better, and hate the women.
also, totally off topic, there is a pros on line libary. if anyone wants
info, e-mail me privatly.
I voted for gerant several times under different addresses, and was told
that he didn't have a chance by the computer. which makes me wonder if

I don't have Leslie's original message, so I can't tell if she's only

'controlling his urges'.

Subject:      LISTEN UP!!!

        Folks, I don't know how many of you have heard, but someone on the net
has a REALLY sick sense of humor.  a couple of days ago, I recieved an E-mail
from one of my friends informing me of a new virus under the name of "GOOD
TIMES".  Should any of you people see a message in you mailbox with the subject
line reading "GOOD TIMES", my advice to you is, GET RID OF IT!!!!  Do not under
any circumstances open this E-mail letter.  If you do, EVERYTHING currently on
your hard drive will be wiped.  Not oly that, but the virus sends the computer's
CPU into a permanent feedback loop, which can very seriously damage the CPU.
But that's not all!  The virus also sends itself out to every one of the E-mail
addresses currently in your In-box, or mail box!  So if you get this letter, you
can be sure the person the letter appears to be from is having a VERY bad day.
So please, pass this letter on to everyone you can think of, and especially
users of AOL.  And remember, if it's called "GOOD TIMES", DELETE IT!!!!!

Here we go again. Folks, this rumor has been circulating the net as long
as I can remember. *There is no such thing as a "Good Times" virus!!*
Even if there were, you cannot get a virus just by reading a piece of
e-mail. A virus would have to be attached to an executable program, like
a game, or Windows '95 or something like that. Reading e-mail is totally
benign to your computer. Not to mention the fact that it would take a
computer supergenious to even attach a virus to a piece of e-mail, and
even then he'd be wasting his time because it couldn't work.

As a newbie I don't mind hearing about the earlier seasons at all.  It just
whets my appetite for more.  Of course, it is somewhat tormenting to hear
about all these episodes you may or may not ever see.

Someone asked how many of us were *really* hooked from Dark Knight onward
(sorry, I'm on digest, can never remember who said what...)

Answer: me!!  I was brought across in 1992...at MediaWestcon, when a
vampire fan I'd met there, Valerie Meachum, showed the first four episodes
in her room (counting Dark Knight 1 & 2 as two of the four).  At that time
that's all that existed of Forever Knight.  Needless to say, I was utterly
hooked by the end of that viewing (with raging hormones, I might add <g>)
and have been happily obsessed ever since!

Not necessarily so. I am crazy about Forever Knight, but I don't like

I don't think it was really discounted. But I think it made perfect sense
to some people while not seeming right to others. That's kind of why I
suggested keeping it "The Unnamed Faction". There's an awful lot to that
relationship (Nick's and LC's) and it seems like we see it in a number of
different ways.

You know the Save the Show campaign has been going on for a while when...
it's time to give blood - again.  And it took me three extra weeks to get my
iron count up enough to give the first time!  Plus, since December 22nd I've
lost 22 pounds and started exercising.  So all this has had a positive effect
on my physical health, while being overwhelmingly negative to my mental health.
(And I didn't even make any 3rd/4th season vows! - At least in print)

I'm finally getting my laser printer fixed - it had a *fatal motor error*
message after the first batch of letters. :)

Oh, almost forgot - the woman taking my blood today is an FK fan, too!  She'll
send letters if I take them in for her to sign.  Plus, I discovered a friend
of mine that I "brought across" is bringing across friends himself, and another
friend mentioned some friends of hers are writing letters.  So the avalanche is
beginning.  And I'm determined to stay optimistic about the SciFi Channel
bringing even more new fans to swell our ranks.

P.S. - No one answered me about the story where the vampires and mortals were
writing letters to TPTB in the Raven - guess nobody else remembers it?....

Subject:      Info: Handling mail

I have been going through the stuff from this list slowly but surely.
I'm only a couple months behind. :)  Things in my neck of the woods
have been quite hectic the past couple months and I'm in the process
of trying to find a new job which means I will have even less time to
read the various mailing lists to which I am subscribed.  I have
therefore had to devise a way to sift through the various posts and
keep my poor mailbox from becoming so large I can't even open it when
I get this far behind.

I'm fortunate enough to have my own Unix box and a news server so I
just pipe all my various mailing lists through news (via elm's filter
command subset and a script) and set them to expire in a 2 months.
This way they just go away on their own and if I don't get a chance to
read for a couple months I just make the expire time longer.  Now for
those of you who don't have your own news server to pipe things
through, you can do what I used to do.  Use elm's filter command
to send all your forkni-l stuff to a separate file where it can be
read at leisure with either elm or nn.  I presume this is also
possible with other news and mail readers but I'm not familiar with
them to give specific instructions.  Anyway this is just a thought.
If anyone has any questions on how to set this up, just send me an
email privately and I'll be happy to answer you as best as I can.  I
find nn to be the easiest method as it sorts it all out for me and
puts the threads together and tells how many messages are in the
thread and various other useful things.  Anyway, good luck.

Cheers!

     I hate to say this -- especially since Ian probably thought he would
be helping a few people and their computers out by posting this -- but
it's a hoax.  Trust me.  I've been a computer consultant here at the
University of New Hampshire for three years, and there is *no* *way* you
can catch a computer virus just by reading your e-mail.  It's
impossible.  If you download something and try to run it, that's another
matter entirely.  But this "Good Times" rumor resurfaces every few months
without fail nevertheless.  Just believe me on this one -- you *cannot*
catch a virus by reading e-mail, no matter how hard you try.
     Again, I apologize to Ian, who was probably just trying to help
out.  Happy computing!

Here's what actually happened with the lichen bit.

Gillian Horvath wanted to make sure, when Queen of Harps aired, that
we all knew that line was JP's and not hers. Gillian's script had Nick
in a situation that really happened, in the the 1220's, when a papal
delegation was sent to Wales to intervene in a conflict between two
rival claimants to the Welsh throne.

Note: In the 1220's, Wales was still a sovereign principality. It had
also been nominally Christian for several centuries. There probably
were surviving Pagan customs, but both claimants to the crown were
Christian and open, public profession of anything but Christianity
in 13th c Wales would have resulted in arrest and prosecution for
heresy. PLEASE, let's not have any flames. I'm only describing history,
not making a personal religious statement.

Unfortunately someone in JP's office decided to rewrite the political
conflict as a religious one. That was when "you cling to your Paganism
like lichen to a stone" appeared in the script.

Ger and Nigel both quoted the line before we ever saw the episode as
an example of the nonsense the cast sometimes had to be able to say with
a straight face.

I've always assumed that Nigel threw it into the other episode as an
inside joke.

Anyone who hasn't seen this one really ought to! It isn't the best of HL,
but Tynan did it, and his are always worth watching. Ger, of course, is
astounding. (That voice... the daylight...) It is called "Turnabout," and
it is #25, the third episode of the second season of HL. Now, at midnight
last night, just before the rerun of "Blind Faith," USA aired "Free
Fall," HL #5 (hate that ep!).  That means that we are exactly twenty
weekdays from Ger's HL appearance! (Assuming USA runs them in order...)

I'm still not sure I see the point of this.
We were all newbies at some point (some more recently than others <g>)
and I'm sure that the vast majority of us joined the list *before* we saw
all of the episodes that ran before we discovered FK.  There are still
many episodes I haven't seen, and the differences between the US and CAN
versions means that there are scenes which haven't been seen even by
those who have all the episodes...
Is the idea to *focus* discussion on the eps as they air on Sci-Fi?
Or is it to re-route newbies?
Either way, hasn't Jaye already declared that fkspoiler will close as
soon as the final ep comes out of spoiler protection? (To be reinstated
when we win War 6, of course...)

To Ian and anyone else out there who gets this "Good Times" notice:

This has been here before.  It is not a realy virus, it is a load of hooey.
It seems every six months or so this "Good Times" virus comes thru and
scares the pants out of everyone.  The realities are that there is no virus
that can travel thru e-mail like that and do that kind of damage.

Don't feel bad, I was taken in the last time this one came around and that's
the only reason why I know it's a fake.

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this.  I study medieval Welsh
history (check my sig <g>) and one of the reasons I couldn't stand QoH, as
much as I liked the mystisim, was this part.  Thank you for telling us
this!  (Or telling me, as I'm sure this went around when QoH first aired).

Hmm, 1220's, that might have been Owain ap Llyelwyn and Daffydd ap
Llyelwyn...  :)

Um, at the risk of getting m'self Blue Meanie'd... this A) isn't very FK
related, or even at *all* FK related & B) doesn't need to be read by some 700
to 900 people.  In other words, it has "I'm a personal message/thread, take me
off-list *now*, please" written all over it!

As they say on another list, "Thank you kindly..."
